Finance Committee - 09/16/2020 Page 4
As you will see in Ms. Parkinson’s Memo, we did initially receive three bids for the job; only two of them after
proper review were rejected because they were non-conforming; so non-conforming in they were missing
required documentation. Some had failed to list subcontractors, didn’t have qualifications statement or did not
include the property Federal Provisions. That left DL King for $913,343.24. This bid was reviewed by a
Committee of City Staff. I’d like to thank Director Marchant for sitting in with us, with her significant building
knowledge and that bid was found to be brought forward to you this evening.
| would like to say that this past week we have removed all furniture from the areas, preparing for construction
which we hope to start on Monday, after a start-up meeting to go over proper rules and procedures with the
contractor. I’d like to thank Jen Deshaies and her team for overseeing the moving of all that furniture, the
moving of packs to the Finance Area. We are ready to start construction if the Committee so sees.
Mayor Donchess
Comments, questions? Oh and now Alderwoman Harriott-Gathright is with us | believe. Hello Linda.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Yes, hello sorry about that, | had a hard time tonight, it's been a long day.
Mayor Donchess
Ok any questions or comments on the City Hall? Alderman O’Brien.
Alderman O’Brien
Well thank you Mr. Mayor. Mine is just really a comment. It seems to be prudent while City Hall is in a shut
down at this particular time, this is the proper time to do this type of work and to get it prepared. | think when
we open it back up hopefully the work will be completed, and City Hall will be more accessible and a better
place and a safe place it seems, going with the CDC Guidelines and everything. So | think timing is everything
and | compliment you for doing it now, less disruptive to the citizens, thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Anyone else, questions comments?
Alderwoman Kelly

Mayor Donchess
Oh sorry, who is speaking?
Alderwoman Kelly
Alderwoman Kelly.
Mayor Donchess
